Wurm, Bahr shine for MHS harriers

HESSTON — McPherson High’s cross country team ran in the Hesston Invitational on Thursday, a meet that’s broken down by classes.

MaryAnne Wurm and Katie Bahr were exceptional in the girls’ ninth-grade race, taking second and fifth, respectively.

Another Top 10 finish was by Tyler Timson on the sophomore boys’ side, taking ninth.

“The kids ran really well today, especially considering they are pretty fatigued from our workouts this week,” MHS coach Gentry Nixon said. “We had some very tough competition from bigger schools like Dodge City, Garden City and Liberal, but they really held their own. I am really excited about our upcoming meets based on what I saw them do today.”
